What We’ve Achieved
We at Africa seedling Alliance have previously engaged in sensitization meetings where we have educated the communities about the advantages of preserving the plant vegetation.
We have also been involved in giving out tree seedlings and also mitigating the effects of human and wildlife conflict for the communities that live around Game parks.
We have also trained Women groups on good financial and business skills so that we equip the women with good skills so that they are able to run businesses other than being involved in cutting down trees as a source of revenue.

We have also trained men groups on good financial and business skills so that we equip the men with good skills so that they are able to run businesses other than being involved in poaching animals.
We have also taught communities leaving around game parks good farming skills of crops that aren’t eaten by wild animals so that we are able to mitigate fights between Humans and wild animals that can lead to killing of wild animals.
We have also given out/ built energy saving stoves that use less charcoal or firewood as a means on reducing deforestation.
